The cold wind was raging, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves swayed wildly, almost blowing them off.

It was so cold that the streets that used to be bustling were now so cold that there was not even a single pedestrian, except for the speck of black smoke coming out of the snow-covered rooftops.

Dressed in a light gray jacket and carrying a full back of weapons, he stepped out into the white streets of the new city.

The wind blew his hair messily, and the messy strands of hair slapped against his face, but only the firm black eyes looked quietly ahead, and kept moving forward.

No one knew where he was going, or where the outsider came from, only the soldiers on the watchtower saw that he had suddenly emerged out of the snow.

The thin jacket couldn't stop the wind and snow in the north at all, but he didn't freeze to death on the road, but came to this little-known place alone.

A child in the city pushed open the door of the house, came out to pour cinders, and saw such a person walking on the street, and couldn't help but look at him with curiosity.

The various weapons on the man's back attracted the attention of the child, and he looked at it without blinking, secretly guessing, is this the chivalrous man who wanders the world alone in the mouth of the storyteller?

Attracted by those weapons, Xiao'er subconsciously moved his footsteps, and followed the man from a distance, only to see that the man kept walking, walking, as if he didn't know how to stop.

But just when Xiao'er thought he would not stop in this city, the man suddenly stopped.

"Huh?" Xiao'er tilted his head and let out a confused murmur, "Are you here to find General Lin?" ”

The man stood in front of the Lin Mansion and did not move.

Xiao'er stared at it for a long time, and was about to step forward to ask the man if you were a chivalrous person, when an adult's call came from behind him.

Xiao'er looked back and saw that it was his father and mother calling him.

Xiao'er blinked, hesitated, but still couldn't help asking, "Uncle, are you a chivalrous guest?" ”

The person in front of the gate heard the sound and turned his head to look at him, which was not at all related to the handsome and handsome appearance of the big hero in the child's imagination, it was a very ordinary face, and the stubble on the face looked very vicissitudes, so ordinary that it could not be found in the pile.

Xiao'er was stunned, and without waiting for the man to answer, he turned around and ran away.

His chivalrous dream was shattered by reality!

"What are you doing, you stinky boy?"

"Running around for what? Carefully ask someone to catch it for you. ”

The couple grabbed the child's ears and closed the door with a "bang", and the whole world was quiet again.

The man in front of the gate retracted his gaze, and the appearance of the child did not even stir up a ripple in him.

He looked up at the plaque above the house, then walked to the door, where he stood.

He didn't knock on the door because he wasn't sure if there was someone he wanted to meet, so he didn't want to appear abruptly and disturb the normal life of others.

Therefore, it is good to stand and wait for the people in the house to come out, if not, he will continue to look for other Lin families.

The goose feathers and snow fell from the sky, and the man stood straight by the gate, his face expressionless, covered by the heavy snow, and the whole person was like a soulless puppet, carrying out the instructions given by the mind in a single line -

Wait!

This stop is a day and a night.

The next morning, the door finally opened, Xiangping went out to buy vegetables with a vegetable basket, and when he turned around and closed the door, he suddenly saw a figure in the corner of his eye, his heart jumped, and he looked up, and he was even more frightened to retreat a few steps.

"Y-Who are you?!" Xiang Ping asked, deliberately using his voice to strengthen his courage.

The person in front of him, covered in snow, with his hair scattered, his face full of stubble, shaped like a beggar, appeared in front of him coldly, how could he not be afraid?

However, when the man saw her, he actually laughed, and the smile was slightly stiff, and he pulled the corners of his mouth, and it was gone.

With such a strange behavior, Xiangping's brows furrowed.

She asked again, "Who are you?" Standing outside the door of our Lin Mansion, what do you want? ”

The other party did not answer, but took a step forward, facing the door, no longer looking at Xiangping, staring at the two closed doors in front of him.

This man is so weird! Xiangping frowned, he wanted to go grocery shopping, but now when he saw such a person in front of the door, he immediately changed his mind, quickly opened a crack in the door and slipped back.

As soon as I entered, I immediately tied the door, put down the food basket and went to the kitchen to find Liu.

"Madam, there is a strange man outside the door, standing motionless at our door, and he does not speak when asked, which is very strange."

Liu was washing rice and preparing to cook some porridge for the children who gnawed steamed buns every day to change the taste, and he didn't say much when he heard the words:

"Maybe it's a beggar, I just warmed up the leftover steamed buns from yesterday, you can take two and send him away."

Xiangping didn't move, frowning and reminded, "Madam, he has a lot of weapons on his back, he doesn't look like a beggar, could it be that he is here to find someone?" ”

"Weapons?" Liu poured the washed rice into the crockpot and glanced back at Xiangping, "The person with the weapon is looking for someone?" Does anyone in our family know such a person? ”

Xiangping shook her head, she didn't know.

Seeing this, Liu motioned to Xiangping to ask Lin Youcai to get up, and decided to go out together to have a look.

There were husband and wife following, Xiangping had a lot of feet, and reopened the door, and sure enough, the man didn't even change his movements, and stood at the gate in a daze.

Seeing Lin Youcai and his wife appear, he didn't have any expression on his face, only raised his eyes to look at the husband and wife, and continued to wait.

Lin Youcai and Liu glanced at each other, and Liu motioned for him to come forward and ask.

"Ahem!" Lin Youcai coughed twice and asked in a good voice, "This strong man, who are you looking for?" ”

The man spoke, only three short words, "Lin Meiyi." ”

"Huh?" Liu Shi was startled for a moment, wondering if he was hallucinating, "Who did you say you were looking for?" ”

The man stopped talking, just looked at her with his overly clear dark eyes.

The look in his eyes clearly says that you have heard it.

The man didn't know what politeness was at all, and this stunned appearance made the husband and wife cautious.

Lin Youcai frowned, for fear that some indiscriminate person would come to find trouble, so he glanced at Xiangping vaguely, and motioned her to ask Lin Meiyi if she knew such a person.

He wouldn't say a word to this man until he had a definite answer.

In this way, in the eerie silence, the footsteps of Lin Meiyi running came.

The husband and wife turned their heads, the man quickly raised his head, and the three of them looked together, and saw a big smile suddenly blooming on the face of the running girl, and shouted in surprise:

"Qi Tian!"

Seeing that familiar and strange person, Lin Meiyi only felt incredible.

She rushed out of the door, stood in front of him, and excitedly said, "I knew you wouldn't disappear so easily. ”

"Hmm." Qi Tian nodded, of course he would not disappear easily.

Because......

"I'm coming to see you."

He crossed the north and south, braving the wind and snow, just to see her once.

There's no reason to see her once.
